CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality) -IN PERSON

What is CAMS?
CAMS is an evidence-based suicide-specific assessment and treatment of a client’s suicidal risk designed for clinical mental health providers only (if you are a peer support professional, please do not register).The CAMS Framework is first and foremost a clinical philosophy of care. It is a therapeutic framework for suicide-specific assessment and treatment of a patient’s suicidal risk. It is a flexible approach that can be used across theoretical orientations and disciplines for a wide range of suicidal patients across treatment settings and different treatment modalities.

The clinician and patient engage in a highly interactive assessment process and the patient is actively involved in the development of their own treatment plan. Every session of CAMS intentionally utilizes the patient’s input about what is and is not working. All assessment work in CAMS is collaborative; we seek to have the patient be a “co-author” of their own treatment plan.
